    "Almost thou persuadest me.....

    ......to become a Christian". When Paul stood before Agrippa to testify of the charges brought against him of insurrection because he preached the freedom of the gospel. Agrippa made this statement ALMOST.....thou persuadest me..... Acts 26 Let's look at what persuasion is. To persuade is to...

    Is making Christianity in your own image, a sin? (theologically?)

    Hi there, So there is a mystery, right? That the Church is Christ's Bride and we are His Body? How then should we define our Christianity? The truth is we should do it, according to God's Gospel. But there is a lot in God's Gospel, because it includes the Bible (and the Bible includes a lot)...

    Could Matthew 22:7 be a late addition and an addition by Matthew himself?

    This verse is part of the Parable of the Wedding Feast. Obviously, the king in this parable is God, the son (groom) is Jesus, the Jews are people who were originally called to the feast, the sent ones are the prophets, apostles and saints, those called a second time are pagans, the troops are...

    JOhn 1:10-14 Bible STudy

    Just for curious eyes. From (www.cult.love verse-by-verse), Video 5 out of 96, all free just it was taken off of YouTube and moved to this website. Which by the way doesn't promote sin.

    In the beginning, the messenger and the message were One.

    Hi there, So, just to throw in a hard ball, there is a way to envisage the beginning, that makes sense of what we now come to believe is the "moment" (the moment we are in). It's not so much a claim about Heaven on its own or Earth on its own (as they are in Genesis), as it is a claim about...

    It's right to want your kids to be strong, theologically (suggestions?)

    Hi there, So, after a lengthy battle in the spirit, to overcome the nonsense of the world, I have come to the faith again and perceive a strength that we should be developing as a body: theological strength. Theological strength, is the idea that you not only have the testimony of Christ, you...

    There is no constant witness to Jesus, but one immersive mystery in the gospel (Discuss)

    Hi there, So there is a pitfall, when it comes to the faith, that if you believe it (the faith), then there will be some concrete way to witness to it. Jesus on the cross, is a constant, so the theory goes, there must be some constant way to witness to Him. That is not so. Why is it not so...

    "Jacob I have loved, Esau I have hated" ("but I have loved Jacob, far more, than I have hated Esau"). Discuss.

    Hi there, Ok so, we have this verse, where it looks like God is separating wheat from chaff (Malachi), but actually upon reflection, it is not clear that God is playing favourites, so much as extending a distinction - that brings contrast. The key point of fact, is that God does not say "I...

    The Day of the Lord, perfects the teaching and remembrance of the Holy Spirit (selah)

    Hi! Wow! So I couldn't hold on to this without sharing, because it completely fired me up in the Spirit: We should be ready to stand, for the Lord, no matter how He requites our focus and attention. There is nothing we can focus on in this life, for which the Lord will not have an answer...

    I never understood the phrase "Jesus is God", until now: "Jesus is God Crucified". Praise the Holy Spirit!

    Hi there, So I have never really understood the phrase "Jesus is God"; I knew for example that Jesus humbled Himself, even when He could have claimed He was God - but I thought to myself "If He doesn't want to be known, as God, how can He be God?" You can see that I would be in a fix, if I...

    Priestliness is the servant, but Prophecy is the master (selah)

    Hi there, So I heard a great quote from RC Sproul "if the Church is busy about being priestly, the world will listen when the Church is prophetic" (paraphrase) I find there is a lot of truth in this statement. The Holy Spirit inspires me to take it further, though: priestliness is the servant...

    Presenting the Good News

    In this time of continual bad news I think it good to present some good news, in which the Gospel means good news. And the title of Evangelist refers to one who spreads the good news. With this on my heart I made a YouTube video and am in hopes I got the message across. Title: Good News in...

    Biblical Jesus (Book of Matthew) Bible Study

    Hello to you, I will try to post on this very lightly - periodically through out the week. Jesus is the one who is the solution to all problems (that trouble us in our souls), and he is the one who is needed to help allow light to shine in. The first thing that needs to be addressed first is...

    The Gospel And The Inner And Outer Man

    Nuts and bolts here. What is it? Why aren't we getting it? Why do we argue and insult and condemn, when we know that's not what we're supposed to be doing? What are we missing? I have a strict policy against calling into question others' standing with God into question. But I know there are...

    Why are there four Gospel accounts in the New Testament?

    Why four Gospel accounts? It is no accident that the Holy Bible has four Gospel accounts. It certainly isn’t unnecessary. The Biblical law states: “A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offence that he has committed. Only on...

    Garden of Gethsemane & King's Garden

    Is Gethsemane of Jesus' passion the King's Gardens? Compare these two descriptions: kepos/kipos "garden" of Gethsemane/Gat-shmanim/Gat-shenim/Gat-semena/Gad-smane "oil/fat press", chorion/xorion "place/estate" (across brook/valley of Kidron, in vicinity of Mt of Olives/Olivet)...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    Hello to you, Welcome to this thread, that deals with "What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?" To me the question is begging to be answered, though it would require every piece of evidence and fragment of scripture to put it all together to get the greatest fullest...
